Great review!!!!!

8 days!!

10 days left until we cruise on the Escape!! :)

Y'all just ignore prior post. Just saw where it will be longer than they thought before no smoking.

Just read the reason for smoking. Yall can ignore previous post.:)

Can someone tell me if people can smoke in the casino. I read part of this thread that said they weren't going to let people smoke, then I just read another review about the smoky casino. Thanks in advance.

I have a question. I just read on another thread that the casino would be smoke free. It wasn't? ?

Following!

Thank you for your review. I'm sailing day after Christmas!

14 days until New Year's cruise!!

20 days!!!!!

More cruising time for you and Janice!

That's right...leaving day after Christmas on the Escape. Should be interesting!

SHIRLEY, Janice just signed her papers to retire next month on the 18th. Needless to say she is happy!!!:)

Hi Deb, glad to see retirement is agreeing with you. Enjoying our retirement too!

 

We too just returned from a 14 night reposition cruise on the Serenade OTS from Quebec to Fort Lauderdale - this was our retirement gift to us. Fab cruise, a bit cold up north but absolutely beautiful cities and countryside. We only saw 6 kids under school age on our cruise, and I think I saw one teenage girl - poor thing, no one to hang with.

I bet that was a nice cruise. We went from Boston to New Orleans. We live close to N.O. so it worked out well for us. We hit 7 islands and 4 were new to us. I have a 5 day "regular trip" just to Quebec. I was there for a day one time and it just wasn't long enough. Only reason I'm able to do this is because I volunteered to be bumped off a flight for $800 because I didn't have to be at work on the following day which was a Monday. I booked 1st class to Quebec for $1100. I'm looking forward to having first class too!!:)

I see you and Janice have quite a few cruises under your belt and a few more to come. Glad that you are enjoying retirement. It will happen some day for me. We are going back to WI for Thanksgiving break because my brother-in-law found out about 7 weeks ago that he has stage 4 lung cancer. He is 59.

So sorry to hear about your brother-in-law. He is so young.):

Yes, math is being explained in a different way. They want kids to understand how and why they got an answer not just a memorized answer. If you can't remember a math fact they want you to be able to find the answer in another way. I think it can work both ways. But I know if frustrates my other son when his daughter brings home some math papers. She is in second grade. She brought home a paper that said 0/17 because although she had to right answers for each simple addition problem, she did not circle the right number of sticks to solve each problem. I would have given the paper back to her to finish not mark it all wrong.

Shirley...I would have given it back too. What an uncaring teacher, in MHO. I don't miss that common core math at all!!!

On a better note, I just got back from a 14 day repo with Janice. It was really relaxing and we saw new islands we had never been to before!!!!:) Retirement is nice!!! (There were only 17 kids on the whole ship.)

1 day....YAY!!!:):):):):)

2 days!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's okay, we'll be getting on the Dawn about the same time. Besides, you really don't want to get up at 4am! :eek:

 

:D

No....getting up about 7 to get my flight at 10.:30. I just checked cruise fellows and all our pictures are gone already except Connie's. Go figure...I wanted to match names with faces one more time.

29 hours until we leave the house.

Darn...34 til I leave my house...lol:)
